Foot Gun: A feature of a programming language that you can use to shoot yourself in the foot. - Brendan Eich

Lessons re-learned: Upgrading JS packages to latest versions can create a long day. A package had been updated mere hours ago had a bug in it that caused #Webpack to crash. Backed down a version of the dependent library in Webpack fixed it but it was quite a hassle. #javascript

Started using @reactjs hooks over the weekend. I love the addition. Not needing to use classes to keep internal state is so nice! #javascript #WebDev

For large #javascript projects, I break components into separate folders that have supporting files. Rather than naming the root file "index" I like to create a package.json file that tells #webpack which is the main file. I think it's much easier to debug. #100DaysOfCode

Implemented code splitting in my app today. So far so good! #javascript #ReactJs

I like to use #scrum planning and sprinting methods for my personal #softwaredevelopment projects even though I'm the sole dev. It keeps me on track and it also helps address potential problems early on.

Sometimes adding new, seemingly trivial functionality can become an incredible time suck.

Hey #CodeNewbie, It's okay to tweet for help. It's okay to refer to documentation a lot. And it's okay to look things up on Google. That's what it's there for. #HappyCoding

I remember it being painful moving from procedural #programming in C to OOP in C++ when it was introduced. I've felt similar struggles moving to declarative and functional styles. It's been a constant companion in this profession but worth the effort. #100DaysOfCode #javascript

Confirmation bias -a tendency to search for or interpret information in a way that confirms one's preconceptions- can affect how we think about many things including #programming. It can make it more difficult for us to change to new and better programming paradigms. #javascript

✅ Here's this week's round-up of #Node news: nodeweekly.com/issues/254

#JavaScript #debugging tip: I've seen new JS devs attempt to debug using console.log("x is " + x) to print an object to the screen only to get [object Object] as a result. Change the "+" to a comma and you'll get the actual object logged so you can inspect it. #100DaysOfCode

Updating packages for existing projects can be a big task. Just finished moving a project from @webpack 3 to 4 as well as updating to @babeljs 7. It took a while but pretty happy I did.

I love arrow functions. However, if you don't know #JavaScript rules well, you run the risk of bugs like the one in the image. This returns undefined not an object as some might expect. This is because 'implicit returns' like this should be wrapped in parenthesis. #reactjs #vuejs

More computing sins are committed in the name of efficiency (without necessarily achieving it) than any other single reason... including blind stupidity. - William A. Wulf #Programming #computerscience #javascript

In most #programming languages, the function parameter list determines what parameters are important. Because #JavaScript functions have the arguments property built in, a different way to look at it is it's actually the caller that tells the function what should be important.
